Thank you guys for the fine comments, here is a picture of him and Badley, it is funny that your cats are black too because Dusty was black also with white whiskers, I do have another cat that we now keep inside that is also black and her name is shadow, she is way more independent then Dusty and we are not as close the way me and Dusty were , I still love her the same, the problem now is that two other cats that i have seen hanging around the area have not been seen since, It may be time to start kicking down a few doors in the area.

Remember, you do not need the test harness and save the $50.00, all you need to do is stick the probe in the back of the plug and turn the key on to test and set the sensor, a small paper clip will help if your meter probe is to big, also with a small screw driver you can pop the pin out and permanently solder a small test wire to the pin like i did to test it in the future if needed, thanks on the comment on the picture also
, I will try to watch the post if any other questions come up.
Answer to question 1 is that the stumble could be a bad tps sensor but most likely an adjustment problem, you need to test the sensor, for question 2 is a screw driver to adjust the butterfly on the throttle body, you do not need to get the test harness to set up or test the TPS sensor, for question 3 the screw driver is only available from Polaris and is one of the stupid things that Polaris tries to do to stop people from working on there own machines, other people have been able to make one that will do the job but takes a little craftsmanship to do, for question 4 the SP ECU is what comes in the Polaris sportsman and is one of the things that Polaris changed on the ranger XP to drop the horse power down to 40 HP, the other is a slightly softer camshaft, the sportsman 700 motor is rated around 45 hp and by adding the SP ecu to the XP it will add around 3 more H.P. to the ranger xp, it really will only work on the 2005 and 2006 models, on the 2007 models you can not unlock the rear end with this ECU but will still get the power gains, the stock ranger 700 engines run real lean and the rev limiter has been decreased along with a less aggressive timing curve with the stock ECU, the SP ecu puts it all back to what the engine was built for, it will make the engine run much better.
On November 20th just before our departure to our turkey fest camping trip I had found my very special friend that I cared about very much and is one of the reasons that I have been on the computer on this site helping others was found poisoned in my neighbors yard as we were looking for him to put in the garage for our trip, It made the trip very hard to go on and almost did not go but forced my self, he always sat on the computer table keeping me company as i looked at what i needed to do on this site and answer questions if I had the answers, He was my cat "Dusty" but he was not just a cat but a best friend and in a way my son that i never had, his personality was part cat and part dog and part human in his behaviour and it has been a little hard since then to deal with questions or reading things on this site since he has been gone and i have had no real interest in looking at this computer since then, this is the main reason i have been slow in responses and have not been active here much since then, it has been hard and want to let people know this, this is a great site and till i can get over the loss it will be touch and go for me, sometimes i wished i lived in Utah to do the great rides with you but it is to fare, I did enjoy reading about moab and all the motivation and fun there

I am sure that what dragon fire has is a good product, The research that i have done recently has concluded that the RZR runs rich at idle and leans out from the middle to top end as the rpm climes, I do not know there system but i know you need to talk with them and see how there fuel curve works and I am sure you will need a fuel controller to set proper fuel mapping for the engine after there system is installed, Dynos work well in a controlled environment but do not correct for your current altitude and temperature at the time you are riding and i would add a wide band AF gauge to watch what the engine needs, the unit from dragon fire will add a O2 sensor to make the corrections that a modern automobile has on there modern computers in regards to what comes out of the exhaust that the current UTV systems do not have at this point.
This what you are going to need to do, you are going to turn the key on and put the probe on the back of the TPS connector on the yellow wire with the red lead at the TPS connection with a multimeter, put the black lead to chassis ground, back out the idle screw until it does not make contact with the throttle blade, you will need the special driver from Polaris or you can make something that will work, the butterfly will be in its maximum closed position. You should get a reading of .528, if it is not loosen the TPS screws and rotate the TPS until the voltage is reached, when the right voltage is reached tighten the TPS screws and turn the idle screw in until you get a reading of .710 for the 2005 and .640 for the 2006, if you are running the SP ECU it will be .710 volts, this is the proper voltages for the throttle blade position at idle, it is a little hard to do but it is doable, lots of the polarises lose there adjustments for some reason and need to be checked for proper engine fueling, mine was off when i checked it when i upgraded it to the SP ECU and had to reset it. also pick up a can of CRC Mass air sensor cleaner and clean your T-mapp sensor. :idea:
The 2008 models have had some big problems with the filter system and was redesigned in 2009 to fix the problems along with some other small problems, before you buy a 2008 you need to make sure that it was not run in dusty conditions and i would do a compression test before buying one, Take it to a dealer if you are not sure on how to do it and have them check it over before you purchase it, it was the biggest problem on this unit, I know that the RZR-s goes for $14,000 but when you think what it would cost to build a stock RZR to that point it is a good deal, I have had some friends that have bought some of the stuff from china and they are short in life expectancy and become unreliable, they are not cheap to fix and parts are hard to come by, It would cost more to turbo it then the cost to buy an upgraded RZR-s over an standard RZR, A friend took his china made Quad on a trip with us and i had to to tow him back because the engine melted down and come to find out it was the second engine he had in this ATV, I would not waist any money in it and keep it stock and put the money in a quality product , believe me when you buy a good UTV you will wonder why you bought the other one and it will be up for sale, I hate to be hard here but i have seen this with the introduction of the chines units the last four years and none of the people i know have kept them, They are a great beginners unit and you grow from it but do not put any money in them :idea: .
If the area in your area requires you to the 50" rule the RZR is it, that would be the only way i would go with the standard RZR, it is a great machine for 2009 and i think they have worked most of the bugs out, I own a Ranger XP and the only addition to my family would be the RZR-s, It is a more refined machine and the suspension is way better and you get the H.O. 800 engine other then the standard 800 engine, it is also 6 mph faster with around 5 extra H.P., For running in the dunes that extra horse power will make a big difference, I have driven both of them and the difference is night and day, when the RZR first came out, the only thing that stopped me from getting one at the time was the difference in the stability of the machine compared to what my Ranger XP has, It just felt to tippy from what i was used to but that is not a problem with the new RZR-s, it was that stability problem that saved me from all the first year problems with the standard RZR that i was able to avoid, rummer has it that for the 2010-2011 version that the sportsman H.O. 850 engine will find its way to the RZR-s, Good Luck and chose wisely, I hope what i have told you will help

I have not used this controller but what i have read it looks like a good unit, what i really like is that you can add the O2 sensor so it could self adjust the fuel curve as you ride at whatever altitude or temperature you ride at, all fuel controllers wire in about the same, it is just the way the firmware or software adjustments that differ from one to the other, if you go to the boonedocker and the dobeck site they have online instruction unlike dragon fire to help with the install and it should help, as for dragon fire racing they need to update there site to include there controller and instruction on how to use them :idea:, At this time I am not even sure that they manufacture the controller and it may be made by someone else and re badged, this is not confirmed :?: , you should be able to call them and maybe get there instructions faxed or e-mailed to you, sorry i can not add more.
Good info, I knew 5 out of 6, thanks
.
Good info :!: .
The RZR-s is more then just suspension, It is a hotter cam and exhaust, And maybe a gearing change but I have not confirmed the gearing change yet, to jump fro 55 to 62 mph would have to be more then what is written :?: .
The levels and fluides should be all the same on the 500.
Assuming it is a 700 or an 800 the engine takes 2 quarts, the front diff you fill through the vent hose and make sure that the fluid is level with the check hole, that one is a little hard to get to, the rear is the same except you fill it through the check hole, it should be level with the hole when it is filled and for the transmission fill it with till it is level with the check hole, make sure you put the Polaris on a level surface when you do this, If the Polaris has more then 200 hours on it i would change the drive belt, posted on this site is info on what fluids and filters i recommend, the thread is below, let me know if you have any other questions

I use to go to hungry valley all the time but then the rangers started to pull out all the fire pits and major fire regulations and the masses of rangers chasing the riders around checking green stickers and exhaust DB levels we stopped going there,we had them sneaking into our camp at night, It is a shame, great riding and the trip up to millers jeep trail up Frazer mountain was always real fun, it just got to popular
, it is about 60 miles from were i live
